10th Farragut Open

June 28th, 2009, 08:43 AM

The 10th annual Farragut Open in Athol Idaho is just over 1 month away, 08-08-09. Its been 8 years since this event was held in the summer(2001 NW Full Sail Disc Golf Series). I hope the warmer weather and camping may entice some of you to come East a bit to play two of the best course's that this area has to offer. This is a ONE day C tier event that will be held on 2 different courses,the Wreckreator and Northstar dgc. We have been busy lately with work on the courses. Tree trimming and thinning, tee pad and sign work,etc . I have reserved a large 80 acre campsite field within Farragut State park, 2 miles from the course, for the entire weekend. All disc golfers, family and friends are invited to come play, camp, and enjoy the whole weekend. Online registration at pdga.com Play tourney golf on Saturday, play w family or on Sunday. Thanks ,Tom Walker p.s. flyer is attached or can be downloaded at sdga.org

We had a chain saw out on the course for 6 holes that really needed thinning. This should bring us back 6 0r 7 years and give 2-4 yrs growth for those holes to grow back I shot the Wreck even after that Tom Walker

Anyone from the Seattle area considering this tourney? I am taking a dg vacation at the end of next week and might head east and include the Farragut Open... I have played the original course and really enjoyed it, so I'm really excited to see the new 18 as well.

Don't just walk past that candy wrapper on the fairway-- I know you saw it!

Now less than a week away, Thnk G.
For my Montana friends that are coming out to camp here's your update. Camping will be $3 a night per person(not $2 as previously stated). This fee will be collected at the group campsite by my wife Susie as we are the camp host's. You will be required to have your "day"vehicle pass, $4, (or yearly pass) . You will also be required to pay a "night" vehicle parking fee, $5 per vehicle. This DOES apply to ALL motor vehicles, but not to any towed camp/travel trailers(i.e. no motor)These fee's are to be paid to the park, not me. If you come to the campsite without doing this first your will be directed back to do so.
PLEASE NOTE ALL CAMPERS NEED TO CHECK IN AT THE RANGER STATION, OR THE REMOTE DRIVE UP HUT/STATION THAT IS AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE PARK/Driveway to the main ranger station. Tell them where you are going, pay park fees there, and they will gladly direct you to Scott field!
It seems we will have mid to upper 80's for temperatures foretasted. Thank you Star
I will Not be running a dbles round Friday night so your on your own for a practice round.I did hear of some folks doing a glo round on the "dinker 9". Please clean up after yourself I will try my best to get the Pro-Men-Only temp "long" baskets (red) in place Friday afternoon/evening for holes 4 & 5 on the Northstar.Aside from those two hole changes, the course's are ready to host all you all! The above is pasted from the GCF website forum.p.s. replace Montana w/wherever you are from

Hey ya'all. I cant make it up on Fri. afternoon but I have a 300' tape that Tom needs on my front porch. Also Tom asked for firewood for the campers. If you can come by my house to get some I'll hook you up. Please cal 509 363 1056 or post here if you can bring Tom some firewood. Also 4- Mound will be open on Sunday @$5/car. Study up for the City Cup! Gordy.

Results are preliminary and are posted on PDGA web site.
9 NIRDGC members played,with 2 others in attendance =11 present.
It was good to have traveling/camping players and their family's who came and experianced the Scott field camping. Congratulations to Steve Mclain (492'/Kennewick)for winning the distance competition tag. The contest was held in the camp ground. Ed Dopplmyar threw 595' but wasn't allowed to compete for the tag for obvious reasons.
This tournament drew from the series States(ID,MT,WA) and beyond for a diverse player base.I need to Thank Bob Perrewe, Jeremy Graves,& Mr. TC Bare for assisting me and Susie on this event day. Go W(rec)kreators! TW

Thanks Tom for you and your crew's holding this event. Your success is also the success of the series; The Overall's added-to-the-purse total is now up past $3500. Thats about $1000 more than last year. I suspect that this news will prompt players to attend the Chump Challange next week at Highbridge Park in order to qualify for a cut of that $3500. Remember, you need 4 events to qualify for the Overalls at the Finals at Four Mound in Sept. Again, thank you to all the efforts of the T.Ds. all year long that will make this year's Finals the best ever. Gordy.
